The Wembley Arena in London is one of the UK’s premier entertainment destinations and is without doubt an iconic, globally-renowned concert and event venue.

The Bastille Opera serves as the main facility for France’s principal opera company, the Paris National Opera. As one of eight iconic buildings built by French president Francois Mitterrand’s Grands Projets -- an architectural program meant to revitalize Paris in the 1980s -- the Bastille Opera is a modern monument and remains one of the most important post-war examples of urban planning in Europe today.

The Savoy Theatre needed to replace its existing houselight system, made of 40- to 60-watt tungsten candle-shaped bulbs, with a more energy-efficient solution that would not detract from the historic architecture. In order to complement the interior features of the venue, the ideal lighting solution also had to match the way the venue had been illuminated when it opened its doors in the 19th century. And the ideal solution needed to be completely wireless and controllable from the venue’s stage-door area and auditorium.

Based on appearances alone, it may be hard to believe that the new state-of-the-art iHeart Radio Theater in Burbank, California, used to be the home of NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

ETC, through dealer Prosound, has supplied equipment for the South African production of Rent, which opened at the Alexander Theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa, in July, and has now gone on tour across the country.

The National World War II Museum’s new 70,000-square-foot $60-million complex, comprised of The Solomon Victory Theater, Stage Door Canteen, and The American Sector restaurant opened November 6, 2009, part of the Museum’s $300-million expansion.

In 2006, the Dole Foods Corporation decided to extend its message of healthy living by opening the Westlake Village Studios, a 40,000-square-foot TV broadcast facility that is part of the Four Seasons Westlake Village Hotel in California.

When the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater was preparing for its latest world tour, lighting director Al Crawford wanted to get the best and most advanced lighting control system on the market.
